Mudiwa dominates Zim Hip Hop Awards

Zimbabwean rapper Mudiwa Hood was the big winner at the 2017 edition of the Zim Hip Hop Awards in Bulawayo at the weekend. His tally of four awards was followed by female artist Kikky Badass who went home with two gongs.

Mudiwa won four awards.

Mudiwa won in the Best Hip Hop Hustle, Video of the Year, Best Gospel Artist and Best Dressed categories. Kikky won the People’s Choice and Best Female Artist accolades.

“I am excited and happy. After launching seven videos this year, I feel so honoured for such a recognition,” Mudiwa told Music In Africa, adding somewhat conceitedly that he had become accustomed to winning awards in his home country.

“There is nothing new about this. In 2014, I won three awards on the same night at the Zim Hip Hop awards,” he said.

“On paper, honestly, I didn’t see competition in the categories I was in. I could arguably win this across all genres, so it wasn’t a surprise. Best Gospel was obvious, Best Video was obvious, Best Dressed was way too obvious,” the ‘Ndaita Mari’ hitmaker said laughingly.
